Free Republic

I first realized something in America was changing back in November 2015. My family was on vacation in New Zealand to visit my sister who was studying abroad there. A Republican candidate for president, Donald J. Trump, was gaining in popularity on the right. Politics came up. I defended the Donald and I came under attack from my sibling. I became far too defensive. Things got heated and personal and have in the intermittent months since then. We haven’t talked politics for quite some time now. With Trump’s rise to the White House, things appear to have gotten only more...

After regaining a majority in the House of Representatives and the committee powers to investigate and subpoena witnesses that comes with it, Democrats will look to battle President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Bringing illegal immigrants into the country, and by extension, their votes, might be the only way Democrats could possibly hope to regain the power they crave in the Senate and in the White House. We saw that desire to count illegal votes this past month from Florida Democrats, who argued that a non-citizen should be allowed to cast a ballot. Some would argue this is the single...

Donald Trump saved us from Hillary Clinton and the Leftist cabal in 2016. But they have a lot in store for us still. Like so many past victories won by the GOP and its supporters, a won battle is believed to be a won war. It’s not. I saw the same thing happen in 1980 when Ronald Reagan wiped out the Democrats and again in 1984. It was an electoral landslide like no other. Let’s also remember that Reagan was Governor of California and California voted for him in 1980 and 1984. Look at California today. If it’s one thing...

The take-away from Justin Trudeau’s latest worrisome move, is that while the leftwing media may be up for sale, the average Canadian IS NOT Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants an American-like, left-leaning mainstream media for Canada—and is investing more than half a billion taxpayers’ dollars to get it. Watching from the country next door how the American media, which supplies a 90-plus-percent negative coverage of all things President Donald Trump and whose blatant intent is to drive him out of office, Trudeau wants a 90% left-leaning media in place for Canada’s upcoming 2019 federal election.

Media's advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome Have you listened to the “news” broadcasts of CNN or MSNBC lately? Almost 100% of the air time on those stations is devoted to anti-Trump and anti-Republican bashing, it’s like no other news is happening in our country and around the world. You could, in all honesty, call those media outlets, “Merchants of Venom”.

The welfare state and socialist redistribution schemes demoralize and debase a society I am a Star Trek fan, like millions and millions of others on the planet. In later versions of the franchise, the great threat to the star fleet and the Federation was the Borg. The Borg, if I remember correctly, was about the collective—that total lack of individuality among beings and a complete lack of liberty for those civilizations that had been conquered. If one did not submit, then elimination of that civilization was the obligation of the Borg. Their goal was perfection. Does any of this sound...

Be thankful that Obama, Hillary and Beto are gone, and only still there in their fervid imaginations It’s enough to put you off of today’s Thanksgiving dinner, and maybe your Christmas one too. “Beto has gone nationwide”. The Manchurian Manufacturing Department of the DNC, which presented Barack Obama as the Messiah from faux Greek columns back in 2008, is now presenting Beto O’Rourke as a recycled JFK in 2018.

In recent days, POTUS Donald Trump was criticized by firefighters, Left-wing Democrats, environmental groups, and #NeverTrump Republicans for daring to state that the wildfires currently burning up California were largely the fault of poor forest management by the state. Early on, the president tweeted there was “no reason for these massive deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!” ... California Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, after denouncing...

Warning: If you have not taken mind-altering prescription drugs yet, don’t, because if anyone has a good story, which can even be a total lie about you being a “danger” or “threat” to society in any way, all they need is a sympathetic judge, and then a swat team will be raiding your house in the early morning hours to take your guns. Should you resist, you will be shot to death on the spot, in your own home, even if you’ve never committed a crime, and all your guns are legally obtained. Currently, there is an attempt to scrub...

The New York Times released a 10-minute video last month entitled “How Capitalism Ruined China’s Health Care System.” The video attempts to blame capitalism for the many problems in China’s health care system. “Under Mao Zedong the Communist state provided free health care for all,” the narrator tells us. “Decades later China adopted a unique brand of capitalism that transformed the country from a poor farming nation into an economic superpower. Life expectancy soared. But the introduction of capitalism and the retreat of the state meant that health care was no longer free.” As a resident of China and a...

President Trump is not going to severely punish Saudi Arabia as he promised he would if the CIA decided he was responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. The CIA does believe he is responsible. While it is sad that Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered and no one deserves such a terrible death, is it our affair? The media says it is. They think they run the government. The media does run the Democrat Party. Khashoggi was an occasional op-ed writer for The Washington Post but, other than that, he was a Saudi and a Muslim Brotherhood activist. The Saudis...

Unless we fix it, our devolution into another failed socialist state—or worse--is virtually assured. Fifty years of carefully orchestrated ignorance and mediocrity is more than enough On Monday, the American Thinker published a column by Bruce Deitrick Price entitled “K-12: Six Steps to Reform Education Right Now.” In it he offered up transparently useful reforms regarding the mastering of reading, writing, math, geography, history and science, all of which would lead inexorably to the development of critical thinking skills. “Immediately, we will start having educated children again,” Price asserts. All well and good save for one inconvenient reality: the premise...

Our paganistic media and entertainment industries reinforce this destructive curriculum and our elected leaders shamelessly live out greedy, and self-centered careers In today’s aristocracy, there is ample evidence that there are no consequences for the politically connected and the very wealthy. Since time immemorial, lousy behavior without consequences usually escalates to worse behavior and on and on and on. The downward evolution in such a society and what we are witnessing in America today is that movies that were once rated R are now rated PG, what was once seen as deplorable becomes acceptable and what was once shocking becomes...

At this point, Stacey Abrams, Bill Nelson, Andrew Gillum and Hillary Clinton should travel the country as the Sore Losers Tour 2019. “Sore Loserman” was the insult directed at 2000 presidential/vice presidential candidates Al Gore and Joe Lieberman, known on the campaign trail as “Gore Lieberman.” After losing to George W. Bush, Gore challenged the handling of the Florida vote counting, resulting in the closest presidential race in the history of the United States. Gore’s appeals for a recount went unheeded, resulting in Republicans all across America placing ‘Sore Loserman’ bumper stickers on cars.

Millions would like to tell Obama to "get on that 'widdle girlie bike and 'wide', 'wide' far, far away" Give that guy an Academy Award! The guy they call the ex-president of the U.S. who, according to the fawning mainstream media, was “the smartest guy in the room”. Barack Obama, henpecked by overbearing wife, Michelle and mentored in so many moves by former top advisor Valerie Jarrett, both of whom liked to remind the world how “tired” he was, has come out of ‘Resistance’ trashing President Donald Trump as ‘Confused, blind, shrouded with Hate…and having Mommy Issues’.

May God bless America on this Thanksgiving Day in 2018! Many Americans on the Thanksgiving holiday coming this week will likely breathe a huge sigh of relief that the divisiveness of the midterm elections are over. Of course, that will be true if families and friends can put aside that divisiveness in their hearts in the millions of homes where Thanksgiving will be celebrated across America.

The elections may be over, but this doesn't make the California ruling clique any more credible or legitimate than the Soviet government was when Russia was the USSR. “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” ― Joseph Stalin In her recent column “Are CALIF Democrats Also Cheating Their Way to Power?, Katy Grimes described a series of elections “coincidences” that led the Democrat Party to their takeover of the US House of Representatives. As we have seen, many Republican candidates who were ahead of their Democrat rivals on the election day lost after the polls...

For many, it was a total surprise that former President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize back in 2009 after he was only in office a few months. Rumors are now swirling around in the British media that Barack Obama may see his prize withdrawn in the light of another world leader - Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi - who recently lost Amnesty International's (AI) highest award.

The Democrats are promising to make gun control a top priority as they are set to assume the majority in the House of Representatives. Some Democrats are even showing their true colors by foolishly stating that the government would use nukes on people refusing to comply with their gun confiscation mandates. While we can safely assume (hopefully anyway) that Representative Swalwell wouldn’t take out an entire state because people refused to surrender their constitutional rights, which he is sworn to uphold and protect incidentally, we shouldn’t assume our gun rights are safe just because Donald Trump is in the White...

Don't let anyone tell you that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is another dumbbell added to the roster of liberal morons I have written several articles harping on the roles of television and the Internet in training up programmed humanoids that I call (the older of whom) ‘silver ponytails’ and (the younger that most all conservatives refer to as) ‘snowflakes’. We are today surrounded by a whole new ‘America’ that the lamestream media has been carefully nurturing, like a bonsai tree, for the past fifty years. I quote myself here (something I love to do), because I honestly can’t find too many other...
